Shaders are still the hardest thing to ship on a normal web team. WebGPU gives you the hardware, then hands you adapters, bind group layouts, and pipeline descriptors before a single pixel moves. Vercel spent that cost internally building the shaders on vercel.com, and has now open-sourced the result. vgpu is a TypeScript library that treats .wgsl files as importable modules, exposes one Gpu context, and runs the same shader in a browser canvas, in headless Node.js, and in a CI snapshot test.

Is it deployable?

Yes,vgpu is MIT licensed and published to npm, so pnpm add vgpu is the entire acquisition path. It is a library, not a hosted service, so there is no account, quota, or inference bill.

One context, no hidden global state

init() acquires an adapter and device and returns a single Gpu handle. Everything else hangs off it. The browser quick start in the README is four lines:

Copy CodeCopiedUse a different Browserconst gpu = await init(); const surface = gpu.surface(canvas, { dpr: [1, 2] }); const wave = gpu.effect(WAVE_WGSL, { set: { speed: 2 } }); gpu.frame.loop(() => { wave.set({ time: gpu.time }); wave.draw(); });

surface wraps the canvas and clamps device pixel ratio between 1 and 2. effect compiles WGSL into a fullscreen effect whose uniforms are addressed by their WGSL names through set(). Frames are explicit: passes, clears, and draws are calls, never implicit scene-graph state.

WGSL as a Module System

The differentiator is shader tooling. .wgsl files import and export like TypeScript modules. vgpu resolves the module graph, reflects bindings, removes …
